Target Audience
This webinar is essential for Confor members who are involved in supply chains that could potentially see their products or co-products exported to the EU or Northern Ireland, and hence will be affected by the new regulations. The webinar will provide a deep insight into the EUDR requirements, and provide an overview of the steps that PEFC are taking to assist their certificate holders to be able to demonstrate their products are compliant.
Engage with our speakers through an interactive Q&A session where attendees can ask questions and seek advice on specific challenges.
